The Management Committee is the delegated body responsible for day-to-day running of the village. It meets as required, and consists of three elected statutory officers (specified by the Act) - a Presiding Officer, Secretary and Treasurer - supplemented, in our particular community, by several additional function 'Coordinators'. Coordinators handle activities in their area according to need. Some areas - such as approval of Building Development applications, maintenance of the village infrastructure and landscape, or development of farm infrastructure, require liaison among groups of interested members and regular coordination meetings. Some areas are less formally structured around particular events or particular delegated tasks.
To send a message or enquiry to any the above officers or coordinators, use the “Contact MC” form. Be sure to give enough information for the message to be directed to the appropriate person.
Community Members can access archived management information in the "Members Only” pages.
